if you know anything about businessmen from the Arab world you will know that they don't like giving money away. If you anticipate subsidised ticket prices think again. Your ST price is going to rise not fall. Remind me how much it is now, £650 is it?

IMO some fans appear to be confusing playing poorly and not trying.

Lets see how long it takes before you are slating the next batch. England U21 internationals are few and far between in League 1. I think you are kidding yourself if you think we will offload and then find better players to come in.

Barclays join Goodmans, Ty Baby, Oki, South Coast Fiat, KJC, Bishops printers and the rest as non existant companies in my mind.

****, I was going to get one of those baby jumpersuit things for my new born niece tomorrow. If I don't get in there quick she's going to become a bloody Forrest fan.

Not heard of historical dockyards then? HMS Victory? Mary Rose? As much as I can't stand the skate bastards it pays to offer a balanced opinion when you are slating them from a weakened position such as we find ourselves in. Be patient though as football works in cycles and one day we will have our day in the sun again.

bull****.

I know the game and this board is about opinions but **** all of you that slate Surman. He gave his ****ing all this season in every single game. I won't deny he didn't perform the entire season (and likewise the season before but he was good in patches and no one is going to tell me that he does not try. Let me add that he offers real quality (not many other do at SFC) and when he is gone and we replace him with moe **** like Holmes or Wotton then don't come crying to me. We should do everything in our power to keep him and Lallana. If you sell the last remnants of quality then you will be left with dross. He's worth several million in my opinion, administration or no administration.

spot on. **** him.

**** him.

`SFC Staff', that term includes the players right? Does that mean we have breached the terms of our contracts with the players and they are effectively free to walk?

We had to match the contract he was on previously to ensure we got a tribunal fee. How do you know we didn't do exactly that?

Its not just a question of us needing the money, Dyer wanted to leave as well. He has told all and sundry that he wants to stay at Swansea so that must be taken into consideration. Financially it was a very good move to offer him another contract.

with the right manager and signings there is no reason why we should not challenge, whether or not Wotte and Wotton figure in that senario is a different matter.

Crewe don't appear to be getting the same quality of player through the doors now that other clubs have equal if not better youth development schemes.

he offers something very few other Premeirship strikers can and that's raw power and fantastic arial abililty both in attack and defence. cvntflaps loves the big man small man combination and Jones/Defoe is not a bad pairing if you ask me. I for one thought £6m was a steal and felt we could have got more if Jones had not been such a ******.

two leagues up and a Sky cheque coming their way though.

KP needs to be included then

I presume you mean welch out of the £23.5m to Aviva? Actually just like us, if you fail to pay your debts then **** Park becomes ownership of your own creditor(s).

they were both at the club, I should know I had to mark Eadie every bloody week.

Jamie Cureton and Darren Eadie, both on the books, but left when the then Youth Development Officer left the club.

what a load of old ********. The best footballing sides get promoted. Yes you have to have good strong defenders and bite in midfield, but this idea that lumping it long all day long to a huge lump of astriker is how you get promoted from the lower leagues is rubbish. Check out the top five or six of League 1 and you will find the best footballing sides at the top not the bottom. Peterborough have played teams off the park over the last two seasons and have been promoted twice in a row, the same applies at all levels. Passing football is the way forward so long as you throw in some pace and power as well. They key is quality footballers. If you have quality players you can play a passing game and win. However if the squad does not have that ability then you have to start looking at alternatives to make best use of your squad. If we have players like Schneiderlin, Lallana, Surman and McGoldrick (all high technique low strength players) in the squad next season then the only way we are going to do anything is to get the ball down and play. If we have BWP then we can play the ball down the channels. If Wotton is going to be playing then a passing game through the middle is completely pointless as he does not posess the quality required. As for Pele, he offers the quality on the ball as well as the strength and bite required. He won't be coming to us thats for sure, he's way out of our league sadly.

when comparing Euell and BWP to other players out there commanding similar wages then you have to be talking about free transfers as Cox is worth £2m (apparently) which effectively adds £10k a week over four years even before you add his wages on top.

shame, Gillinghams open to all weathers away end is ****e. Would have been nice to go to the New Meadow. Hay ho.

noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, absolute ****ing ****e. How on earth can you play a defensive midfield role if you don't tackle, ever. Garbage. Never understood what Luggy saw in him and he has done sweet **** all at Sheff Wed and Plymouth. I'd much rather play Schneiderlin if we are going for non tackler
